In June 2024, a conversation was held at Medical Alley that brought together experts and end-users from many different areas of healthcare, as well as from companies that help develop artificial intelligence (AI) and software applications (apps). After an introductory presentation, the attendees split into two groups and shared their experiences with healthcare apps and AI. Their diverse backgrounds contributed to the broad range of topics covered.
This paper intends to reflect these conversations and to provide an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with leveraging both apps and AI for healthcare innovation. In this paper, “AI” is used as a catch-all term to encompass the many subsets of the science.
Sincere thanks go to MentorMate for their partnership in making this discussion happen, and to the participants who represented 22 organizations and provided thoughtful and fascinating discussions.
